Así pasa el día aquí

Los Claxons' song 'Así pasa el día aquí' delves into the profound sense of loneliness and longing experienced when a loved one is absent. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a day that feels different, where even the light and music seem off. The protagonist describes a world that has lost its vibrancy, with time dragging on and every second filled with ambient noise and disposable ideas. This sense of emptiness is heightened by the absence of the loved one, making the protagonist's voice 'painted blue' with sadness.

The chorus emphasizes the impact of this absence, stating that the protagonist's world cannot ignore the collapse of their life without the loved one. The imagery of counting pictures on the wall and waiting for dawn highlights the slow passage of time and the constant yearning for the loved one's presence. The protagonist imagines hearing the loved one's voice and feeling their touch, but these are mere figments of their imagination, further emphasizing the depth of their loneliness.

The repetition of the phrase 'me estoy volviendo loco' (I'm going crazy) underscores the mental and emotional toll of this separation. The protagonist feels as though life is crashing down on them without the loved one, and this sense of despair is palpable throughout the song. Los Claxons use simple yet powerful language to convey the universal experience of missing someone deeply, making 'Así pasa el día aquí' a poignant reflection on love and loss.
